What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The British Wool Marketing Board released its 2026 outlook, noting that prices are among the strongest in the industry in the last decade, with 2025 returns up over 30% year-on-year. This renewed demand is attributed to consumer concern regarding fast fashion and synthetic fibers, which drives buyers to seek sustainable materials. Separately, Australian Wool Innovation announced a new two-year project to study biogenic carbon flux in sheep production systems, funded to meet global brand sustainability reporting requirements.
